Gorgeous combination of original factory 'Solent Blue Metallic' (Code JFJ) color paint with striking original factory alloy wire wheels and beautiful doeskin 'Barley' (Trim Code AFW) leather interior and a Black power soft top! This particular car must be seen to be truly appreciated! Virtually flawless and a real head-turner!

Obviously always garaged with absolutely no rust and no accidents, owned since new by only one obviously very careful and mature southern California family - never abused, babied all the way! The original and rare factory 'Solent Blue Metallic' color paint (named after the Solent Strait in the south of England which separates the mainland from the Isle of Wight) is in truly excellent condition as is the original 'Barley' color leather seats interior which is also in outstanding condition with virtually no signs of any wear with the door panels, headliner and the carpets also in virtually flawless condition throughout.
Powered by one of the finest, race proven engines built by Jaguar, the smooth 5,344 c.c. V12 engine was a worthy successor to the XK series of Jaguar sports cars dating from the late 1940's and this particular engine is extremely strong and smooth running with excellent oil pressure and which does not burn or leak oil. The temperature always remains cool and the car drives exactly like a V12 Jaguar with such low miles should!
This is one very fine example of this classic and increasingly desirable and collectible rare V12 Jaguar roadster, a truly luxurious smooth V12 ride and one of the last beautiful hand built cars from Jaguar's legendary Browns Lane, Coventry, England plant and a car that cost over $58K new in 1989 (over $105K in todays money!). This is probably the last classically beautiful design built by Jaguar in their long and famous history of classic lines - with these particular models becoming harder to find in such all original condition with low miles and with this car having obviously very careful long time ownership since new, this is one sure-fire classic car investment for the Jaguar enthusiast or simply any classic car lover!
You will certainly look long and hard to find a finer example of this immaculate V12 Jaguar roadster convertible boasting only one southern California family ownership since new and with only 19K original miles available anywhere else!
